Mr.. Wit for Judge OF the Hastings
Court.
At q meeting of the Richmond mem
bers of the General Assembly held yes
terday evening it was resolved to present
TO the Democratic caucus as judge of the
Hastings Court of Richmond Common
wealth's-Attorney Samuel b. Witt. The
contest was brought down at last be-
tween Mr.. Witt and Mr.. Crump, and
that vote was to 2.
1t is understood, however. that all the
members acquiesced IN the result.
No determination has as yet been ar
rived at as to who shall be presented to
the caucus for the Chancery-C Court Judge
ship, and the names Of Messrs. James G.
Lamb, Jackson Guy, and J.. r. Tucker,
Jr, and ex-Judge j.. II. Fitzhugh and
the present incumbent, Judge A. i.
Holiday, are before them for considera-
ton.
1t is considered probable that ma
jority-if not all-of the members will
be able to centre on one man, though at
present opinion is considerably divided.
